America's Cup officials say the premier yacht race is on course to take place as planned despite the death of a veteran sailor from the Swedish team during training last week.

All four teams slated to duel on San Francisco Bay in powerful AC72 boats remain on board for a competition that begins in July with the challenger series of matches, which will decide who takes on the champion Oracle crew in September.

"The America's Cup will go ahead this summer," the Cup's external affairs director Tom Ehman said during a press briefing at Pier 27 in San Francisco.

"We will see the world's best sailors racing at the highest level on the iconic San Francisco Bay."

Cup officials met with leaders of each of the four teams on Wednesday (AEST) to brief them on the make-up of a committee formed to look into the fatal accident and ways to make the 34th America's Cup safer, according to Ehman.

"There was not even a thought given this morning to doing anything but continuing apace," Ehman said of the meeting.
